could this rack work for roasting tomatoes?

It wouldn't be my first choice for roasting tomatoes. You will want to use a pan or a cookie sheet for that. You could use this for grilling tomatoes or other veggies however.

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about roasting tomatoes. I didn't know you could roast one, but it sounds good. I can tell you that the bars are just a hair over 5/8 inch apart. If the tomatoes are sliced, I couldn't see how the rack would work. If the tomatoes are whole, and the skin doesn't break easily, I don't see why you couldn't roast a tomato on it. It should work. Wipe or spray the rack with a little oil first I suppose.

I have never roasted tomatoes. This rack elevates whatever you are roasting about 3/4" from the inside bottom of your pan, so if you would like space between the tomatoes and the pan, this would do it. I agree that it would work best if sprayed or oiled first, because it is chrome plated, not non-stick. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for roasting tomatoes or any other vegetable, as long as the that vegetable was large enough not to fall between the bars.

I don't know. It's metal, so the edges might cut into the bag. I've never used an oven cooking bag, so don't know how strong they are. I really like this rack though. And might even try using a cooking bag myself to keep the splatters off the oven walls.

For ribs, yes. This is a dual purpose rack.Used in the way pictured, it's a great turkey roasting rack.Flip it over and it's a rib rack.Because it's Stainless Steel, after use, soak first, then clean up with a 3M pad.Easy peasy.

Yes, this would work well. It is cast iron without any coating (needs to be seasoned though), and the other side is great for meats and vegies.

Don't know why it would not work. It works for small and large roasts and we often use it for roasted chicken, when not putting them on the grill.Hope this is helpful.

The pan is fabulous, and probably could roast some vegies. I have never tried vegetables alone only with a roast and it was fabulous. I would just be careful and make sure that what ever liquid you use does not evaporate. The rack would be especially good for larger vegetables.

The rack is about 1" high and 12" long, so take that into account if you use the rack for roasting.

I wouldn't try. The tines not so much sharp as much as they are thin. I think the tomato skin would be too thick.

Tomatoes or not the water will evaporate as a result of a lighter product. The rack is well built it will hold a lot

Positively! We use it every fall to can tomatoes. This thing gets right to work! You do, however, have to use a "water bath" pot and lid to hold the pint and quart jars as the pot provided isn't large or deep enough.

I would say yes but I am not a cook so I can't tell you what to do. The oven temperature and time are set individually so you can decide how hot for how long. The only minor issue I see is the halogen (browning) light that is not adjustable. It still may work very well if you use the bottom rack to stay as far as possible from the light which is in the lid. Then again if you want the meat to brown a little, it won't be an issue. I hope this helps.

It should be able to do that pretty well. I have had success using it to scrape food off of baking sheets when I roast veggies in the oven. It's very sturdy. Just use care to not scratch your griddle.

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

never tried that, if the tomatoes are firm i would say it should work.Soft tomatoes would get destroyed.

Yes it would, I use my roaster as an oven, I have cooked ribs, roast, whole chickens, what ever will go into a oven or crock pot. Will be making Taco soup Sunday for super bowl in it. I love it.

I haven't used it for oven racks but I don't see why you couldn't. It's good for everything.

It Seems like it should. I use it to remove the seeds and skins from tomatoes, when I make sauce. Make sure to use the scrren with the smallest sized mesh.
